when the chlorine atom gains an electron its charge becomes -1. this is because the total number of electrons for chlorine is now 18. protons and electrons have the same atomic number, but when a chlorine ion forms it has one extra electron compared to the number of protons therefore giving it a negative charge of 1.

When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine?
it gains an electron d=D have a great day!
What is the name of a chlorine atom gains one electron?
chloride
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it is?
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called?
ion
What is chlorine in ion form?
An anion is a negatively charged ion. Chlorine, because it wants to "steal" or "borrow" an electron to achieve that "magic" inert gas electron configuration will be a negative or anion. The chlorine ion's "extra" electron will give it an overall negative charge. The anion of chlorine is written as Cl- by those who annote it in chemistry.
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
Is chloride a compound or mixture?
Chloride is an ion made from chlorine atom. It is formed when the chlorine atom gains one electron and develops a charge of -1.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine?
it gains an electron d=D have a great day!
What happened when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer shell?
It becomes a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
What happenes when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
What will be the charge for chlorine when it becomes ions?
A chlorine ion will have a charge of -1. A chlorine atom gains one electron to form the more stable chloride ion, thereby incurring a charge of -1. There is now one more electron than proton in the chloride ion, as compared to the chlorine atom which is electrically neutral.
When an atom gains an electron what charge does it have?
An atom that gains three electrons will become an ion with a 3- charge.
What is the name of a chlorine atom gains one electron?
chloride
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charges particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
If a chlorine atom gains or loses a valence electron it becomes a charged particle called an?
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
What change does an atom have if it gains an electron?
It will have a negative charge.
Is a positive ion an atom that has gained an electron?
No, an electron has a negative charge. Therefore, if an originally neutral atom gains an electron, it will have a negative charge.
